I'm not sure if I can post this so if it's breaking rules I'm not offended if it's deleted the reason I say this is I was going to make another Steve good monster truck I blew up the wheel pattern 150 percent and decided to just make my own design not sure of it will work but I'll give it a shot i never designed anything except tables or cabinets so this is a stretch for me good thing if it fails it's not a large amount of wood im using the wheels I already cut but making my own pattern so this is where I'm not sure the wheels are goods patterns I hade them made i laid them out on grid paper and when I start cutting parts I'll mark off which lines I need to follow for each part i plan on making the cab 3 sections approx 4 inches wide with 2 side sections all accessories like roof rack spare tire fog lights etc will be measured an cut after I get initial body done so I don't waste a lot of time cutting them if I'm it happy with the results just finished pattern and made a bunch of copies I saw a bunch of these suv type beach buggies on the beaches in florida like broncos or jeeps all hyped up with over sized wheels so that's what I'm going for

And this morning he is doing the final sanding and attaching axles and wheels to the tow truck and car we made he will paint after his nap and my nap a 4 year old and 2 year wears out this old man

My client paid me with hugs took him all of 3 minutes to pull off a wheel but we took care of that he's a happy camper and his sister liked her mermaid

Finished im not thrilled with the seam in the center of the two body parts but my 4 year old grandson won't notice and I know he's going to ask me for more

great project, great work thanx for sharing

wowser, that is some beautiful pieces of art.

He's now getting into Lego sets my son is 42 and has a Lego room in his house he buys plastic display cases to keep his most favored set ups like roller coasters from legos He loves building sets with his nephew and teaching him

4 hours into this one sapele for outer layers walnut for tires i I love the way he designed the wheels used scroll to cut them out them on bandsaw tilting the table to 15 degrees to cut treads its the small things all parts came out of cut off bins still need to make steering wheel dashboard and bumpers dowels for axel and smokestacks used rubber bands for pics to hold together to see progress

My other nephew in Florida is having a boy in a few weeks so I made him this he has a 3 year old daughter my wife made him a baby shark quilt he is a big fisherman he has travelled all over the world to fish from Alaska for halibut to Thailand for whatever species he was looking for there

My wife wants it I was very surprised I showed her what a blue background would look like she wanted this color even though I'm not for a backing after 46 years of marriage I know the secret don't argue with the boss and always give her what she wants Tung oil finish I might add another coat tomorrow back isn't attached yet

It might have been desplaines or rosemount i I know we were close to O hare I used to be part of a gambling forum that is now gone a friend of ours keeps inviting us out there he lives near desplaines and he visits rivers casino often

Better pic of it

Made a mistake here I felt my leg burning as I turned on the small floor heater next to scroll and bent down to move air flow but my hand slipped and I advanced a cut too far second pic shows advanced mistake cut used walnut on this piecei I need to sand and clean up some rough spots but it's finished as far as cutting ill apply some oil to give it a deep rich color and I'll see if I want to add a colored background or not the only difference from his pattern is I rounded over the edge on the base ill keep this piece since I made the error but I like it my nephew had a few fish tanks he's really into his tanks and told me he's taking the angel fish piece since he has angel fish so I won't show him this one hehehehe

when we went down to biloxi a few years back, I think the second or third time, my wife made me drive to a small town hamilton missouri....the home of missouri star quilt company. this woman started out of her house, then her son brought her to internet, and she is one of the largest retail dealers of quilting supplies in this country.....the town has maybe a dozen stores owned by her company, its actually all there is there, besides a restaurant and a small motel, which she probably owns also. was out of my way, but my wife had to go. in july we will head down to nc and stop outside of ashville, weaverville, another one of my wifes favorite stores, and we were glad to hear she didnt suffer damage during that hurricane in ashville, as weaverville is only a few miles north of ashville. and out of all the stores weve visited, the only store we found a nasty owner was in chicago. its like she didnt want us in there spending money, so we left. and we have found stores in the corn fields of nebraska, south dakota, in the mojave desert over in arizona, near the airport in reno nevada, and so on and so on.

We road trip all over the country and have found quilt shops out in the middle of nowhere my favorite was while driving from Blackhawk Colorado to deadwood South Dakota we stopped overnight in a city called lusk lusk wyoming trust me there's nothing in the town but it had a large active quilt store we also visit a lot of the stores my wife orders from

Every spare inch of my tiny little cape style house is devoted to fabric or finished quilts way ahead of you and she wants more units and I made her a 7 foot high design wall and have made quilt hanger units for her friend also even the back of closet doors are loaded up

Made this for my wife who has become an avid quilter Spanish cedar no finish 3/4 inch thick took me approx 8 hours of time ive seen quilting queen plaques made of wood for 5.99 so scrolling is not a way to make money I'm guessing to site administration if I'm putting too many of this small scroll projects on here please feel free well I mean you can erase them if they are using too much bandwidth not sure if I should keep posting these small projects

I started another Steve good download this afternoon its the quilting queen placque It's good practice for me

First coat of paint wanted to see how the colors look nothing is glued or cleaned

I have 3 rolls of the clear plastic liner I'm just lazy when I'm out there and forget to use it

A lot more difficult for me as I'm not experienced at all the fret work but I believe it came out ok 5 hours 45 minutes into this project all pieces are cut need to fine sand then fit the dado into the base better I chose maple and poplar as this one I'm painting wanted bright colors wood can't offer heres where I'm at days over gotta go get my grandson out school and bring him to speech therapy lotta driving but it is what it is im the uber grandpa like so many others here I'm sure The 1/8 th thick pieces I'm glad I told Mr goods advice and stack cut because one tail snapped off when I was trying to take tape off glad I had another piece

Thanx for advice I take it all in ive been a member of other woodworking sites and never understood when someone would shrug off advice i figure there are 10's of thousands of hours of experience betweeen all the members so why not use it to my advantage and I always appreciate it i had a great neighbor he was a fireman who served during 911 and ended up with leukemia from the dust but he was a partime contractor and could fix or build anything since I'm not mechanically inclined I'd go to him all the time when I had a problem with a machine or mechanical issue mynwife used to tell me leave him alone but he told me he never minded even near the end when sometimes he couldn't even stand up I'd bring it to him and his wisdom and skill always prevailed he he passed 2 years ago after a long battle I miss him and he loved to always see what I was working on i bring his wife little things I make all the time

My 2 year old granddaughter was over yesterday and who knew she now is learning words at a rapid pace in preschool i have an 8 foot plywood silhouette grizzly bear against a tree in my yard(Winfield collection pattern)with 2 baby bears climbing up tree she kept pointing and saying bear bear so I showed her the baby bears and told her momma bear and baby bears i mentioned to my daughter I saw a momma bear pattern online she asked me to make her some I'm guessing she is going to sell at school fund raiser its a wood puzzle used what I had laying around Spanish cedar for large puzzle sapele for small puzzle ps3 blade 1.5 hours for all 4 cut and sanded not making anymore but I have a new kind of respect for the guy in shipshewana I watched cut postage stamp puzzles with his foot pedal scroll saw i think im getting the hang of it but small pieces and curves im getting a lot of blade movement drifting just taking my time water bottle in pic to show scale size
